Doggy Day Care in Dayton

“We’re so happy we found Arlissa to care for our Aubie. Great communication from booking through drop off and pickup. Arlissa’s front porch is fenced and gated, her yard is an “amusement park” for dogs. We appreciate the photos and comments while Aubie was in her care. Arlissa truly cares for the welfare of a “fur baby” in her care. If we travel through here again, we would use her services without hesitation.”

“Kathelyn was very sweet, and she has a cute little doggie that my dog instantly fell in love with. Frankie came home happy and tired.”

“Aubrey really helped us out with last minute daycare after a death in our family. Our dog Maggie got along well with her two terriers. She updated me with pictures and texts through out the day. Thank you Aubrey!”

“Katherine was a lifesaver! Our flight got cancelled and we weren’t going to be able to pick up our dogs from the kennel on time because of that. Katherine was able to pick up our dogs for us, on the same day and with only a few hours’ notice, and dog sit them at her house until we made it back home. We are so thankful for her and how she helped our four-legged family!”

Abby G.

“Amazing. Very quick to respond and works well with any delays. Both the times i needed her she was able to help last minute. Im happy with her care and will happily go back to her again and again.”

“Casey and her brother were fantastic with Wren! She came back tired from playing all day, and ready to cuddle up and sleep! Casey sent me updates with pictures and videos throughout the 9 hours she had her, which made me feel good about leaving my girl with her!”

About: Hi! Meet us, Rebecca and Ethan 😁 We love pets! Ethan grew up with several dogs, ranging from puppies to older dogs. Our family loved an Aussie of our own for several years. Unfortunately she passed on a few years ago. We aren’t ready to have another dog yet, so we truly love taking care of our friends and family’s dogs! Rebecca is a stay at home mom with complete flexibility in her schedule. Ethan works from home and loves taking pups for walks and even on his daily runs if the dog is up for it! We live in a very safe neighborhood that is great for walking dogs! We have a fenced in back yard, and room in our home for your dog! We have a cat who honestly stays clear of dogs when we have them staying with us. We have three kids who love having dog friends come to our house!

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and puppies for 11 years . Had puppies and cats when younger I had to walk and feed and give potty breaks I’m currently at home most of the time so I would have plenty of time to take care of your furry beautiful puppy . I will feed play give them water I have a fenced yard that he or she can play in . I always take them on a leash for a potty break. I have two puppies at home they can play with

“Wow! Incredible! I hesitate to leave an awesome review because she was so unlike any other sitter and I want her all for my dog. Hatsuki is on another level. I went to do an introductory meet and greet. Her house was immaculate, very clean and organized. Hatsuki had printed (let me say it again, she printed a sheet!) a profile of clutch so she can make notes about his needs. Again this was just a meet and greet, she also made a thumb drive with a tag that had clutch’s name. This was so she can give me all the pictures she would take including the ones she would send me as updates throughout the day. Thank you Hatsuki you were amazing!”

About: Hi! I’m Linda, a dedicated animal lover with years of hands-on experience. I’ve cared for my cat, Scar, for 2 years and my dog, Shadow, for 4 years, giving me a strong understanding of both feline and canine personalities, routines, and needs. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or full of energy, I’m patient, attentive, and committed to making them feel safe and loved. I’m great with daily walks, feeding schedules, cleaning, enrichment, and giving plenty of affection. Your pets will be treated like family, and I’ll make sure you get clear updates, photos, and peace of mind while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! 🐶🐱✨ Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I work from home and am here 24/7. I have plenty of time to give pets constant attention, playtime, and potty breaks. Since I’m always home, I can easily keep pets on their normal schedule and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for throughout the entire day. In my home, pets are welcomed into a safe, clean, and very pet-friendly environment. I have a large backyard where pets can play and explore, along with toys, games, and plenty of space to relax. I always supervise outdoor time and make sure every pet’s routine is followed closely. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home, I focus on safety, comfort, and giving them the same love and attention they get from their family.

About: For the past 8 years, I have been involved in rescue work and have gained experience fostering dogs and cats of varying ages and personalities. I have also worked at a dog training facility, gaining more experience and knowledge of dogs' body language, needs, and training. From caring for newborn puppies to senior dogs, from fearful to playful, every experience has been fulfilling. I am a proud owner of three rescue fur babies who bring love and joy into my life every day. I will forever be grateful for all the lessons they taught me and continue teaching me every day about love, joy, compassion, appreciation and patience I believe in using positive reinforcement methods and showing patience and creativity when handling animals. I have deep respect for their unique personalities and always strive to ensure their safety and well-being, fostering positive associations and allowing them the freedom to make choices independently Hey there! I recently relocated to Dayton and am looking for opportunities to spend as much time as possible with animals. I am fascinated by animal psychology and behaviour, and by how they learn and communicate. I regularly take my pups to dog classes in the evenings, go on long walks during the day and study online from home I have three beautiful pets to keep your fur baby company, or I can separate them so your paw-friend has peace of mind and personal space. If you prefer to keep your sweet little one in the crate, we will make it a calm, relaxing experience with a yummy food puzzle and classical music in the background. When pet sitting at your place, I can follow your instructions and guidance to make sure the little paws have everything they need. I enjoy spending time teaching dogs good manners and new skills. We practice obedience training with my pups every day, and my cat just started learning new tricks too. If you like, I can create an individual training plan for your pet during their stay, or you can let me know what to work on, and I'll make sure your pup is receiving the training. Any training is welcome, from puppy training to obedience to learning new skills. Change is stressful and scary, so I will make sure your fur baby has enough attention, physical exercise and mental stimulation. I have plenty of interactive toys for busy-minded pups, as well as lots of ideas for healthy, long-lasting snacks, such as food puzzles, KONG toys, lick mats, and sniffle games. And I'm always open to trying new activities if our furry friend has a favourite toy or game

About: I have over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals, supported by continued education in animal care. I’ve worked as a veterinary assistant in multiple clinics, where I gained experience with senior dogs and administering daily medications safely and calmly. I am also trained to administer CPR and the Heimlich maneuver for cats and dogs, allowing me to respond confidently in emergency situations. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a very open and flexible schedule right now. That allows me to give the pets in my care plenty of attention, companionship, and frequent potty breaks throughout the day — never rushed. I also live just down the street from a park, which is perfect for regular walks, fresh air, and fun playtime to keep dogs happy and active. Safety and trust are always my top priorities when caring for pets in my home or a client’s home. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so I can keep their environment consistent, calm, and stress-free. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully — from feeding schedules and walks to medications and preferred routines. I make sure doors, gates, and crates are always secure, and I keep a close eye on pets during outdoor time. In my home, I provide a clean, safe, and comfortable environment with plenty of supervision and attention. I never leave pets unattended for long periods, ensure they have constant access to fresh water, and monitor their behavior closely to make sure they feel safe and relaxed. With over 16 years of hands-on animal experience, including veterinary settings, I’m confident in recognizing signs of stress or illness quickly and responding appropriately. My goal is always to make pets feel loved, secure, and right at home — wherever they are.

“Loree and Jeff were great with my German Shepard! I cannot say enough good things about this couple. My boy received plenty of exercise (playing ball and walking) which he needs every day. He came home tired every day which to me is a sign of an awesome day for my boy. He also received snuggles and love as well. Communication was excellent via text and several photos were provided every day. Five star rating--that's for sure.”

“Our dog Pepper had a great day with Courtney, I was so happy to find her on short notice allowing us to take an amazing day hike at Zion. She clearly adores dogs and sent update photos throughout the day of our happy pup :)”

About: I’ve cared for pets for 15+ years—from raising my first dog from puppyhood through senior care to loving two Maine-coon mix littermates with very different personalities. I’m comfortable with anxious dogs, social or independent cats, and medication administration. I’ve also raised multiple puppies and supported end-of-life care with patience and compassion. Availability: Flexible university student schedule with weekday + weekend walks/drop-ins and evening care. Meet & Greet: I’ll ask about routines, meds, anxiety triggers, and what a “great day” looks like for your pet—so care feels familiar from the first visit. What you can expect: • Communication: photo/video updates 2×/day (more on request), quick responses, and clear notes after each visit. • Calm, consistent care: structured potty/meal times, enrichment (sniff walks, puzzle feeders), and low-stress handling for nervous pets. • Safety first: double-leash checks before doors open, fenced-yard/doorway awareness, secure carriers for cats, and your vet/emergency plan on file.  Dogs: experience from puppies to seniors; gentle reinforcement of house rules/routines you already use. Cats: I read cat body language, keep litter clean, and tailor visits for playful extroverts or hide-and-seek introverts—with quiet companionship when that’s what they prefer. Current university student with a flexible routine and able to provide consistent walks, playtime, and visits mornings, evenings, and weekends to match your pet’s schedule. I treat every pet like my own, focusing on safety and comfort. I double-check leashes and doors, follow your routines, keep feeding areas clean, and create a calm, stress-free environment. I respect each pet’s personality—whether playful or shy—and send updates so you always know they’re safe and cared for.
